Britain's amphibious striking power from 1688 to 1815

Britain as a Military Power, 1688-1815 is one of Jeremy Black's clearer and better organized books. A reproduced plan of the 1758 siege of Louisbourg maps landing sites and makes the joint nature of British striking power visible. Ships delivered and supported the army, while the army converted maritime mobility into control ashore. The plan's publication also indicates contemporary public interest in how amphibious power was organized and used.
